When it comes to golf there's no better place to play than northern Michigan in the summer or the fall for that matter.

I played the Dutch Hollow Golf Club in Durand, Mich. for the first time in almost 20 years, and did not notice any change to speak of: greens were large and in good condition, the fairways were wide and cut short, the front nine was a little harder than the back nine, with water in play on five of the nine holes. B nines are easy to walk and take your time to enjoy.

I recently shared a Letter to the Editor that appeared on MichiganGolf.com concerning Hessel Ridge Golf Course in Mackinac, Mich., with a longtime friend from Toledo and Hessel property owner. Like the first letter writer, we found both the grounds staff and the clubhouse personnel to be, at best, abrupt and rude.

At Hessel Ridge Golf Course several holes are of interest. However, over all I found this course to be just okay at best.

I again read an article about Stacy Snider winning the Michigan PGA Tournament this past summer. I can only say Political Correctness is well and good. The young lady, who appears to be a fine woman golfer, played from tees that were over 1100 yards shorter than the men. What would have happened if she played from the tips like the men or if the men had played from her tees? We would not have heard the name Stacy Snider.

Regarding your recent review of Arcadia Bluffs: I played there with friends as part of a vacation we took to the Traverse City area in late June. No doubt about it, it's a beautiful course with some spectacular views, and many of the holes are well-designed and challenging but fair.

It was a bright sunny morning in the beginning of August, a great day to play golf. I decided to go to a golf course to have a pleasant smooth-running fun round of golf.

We just had our family reunion, and "the boys" took Sunday morning off to go shoot a round. Our cousin chose The Rose in Leroy as the course to play. There was a little initial grumbling at the price ($45 for a round with cart), but by the end everyone was ready to sign up for next year.
